So what do you think?

I’m exploring the notion of starting a podcast next year. Yes, I know. I’m very cutting edge. I thought I would do it while I still would be one of the first.

My idea is this: Once a week, an hour show.

Can you take an hour of me each week?  

The content would be very similar to the nonsense I put on the blog. Rants about the business, war stories, movie reviews, commentaries on stuff I want to talk about – mostly with a humorous point-of-view.

I also might do some version of Friday Questions.

Add to that, interviews from time to time (writers, actors, goofy people I meet), maybe a few snippets from my old radio days (disc jockey and play-by-play), and fun experiments like maybe improv scenes or script table readings, or who knows?

In time I may add some regular guests and features. At this point, it’s all up in the air. When I started my blog eleven years ago I had no idea what I was going to post everyday. Same with the podcast. I’ll be feeling my way along.

But the tone should be “fun.” I always wanted to do a radio morning show but never wanted to get up so damn early. This might be a way to do it. Also a way to communicate with you on a more personal one-to-one level.

So does this sound remotely interesting to you? Would you listen to such a podcast? I figured I’d start it in January. That’s when people make their New Year’s resolutions to get in better shape and join gyms. Most folks I know listen to podcasts while on the treadmill. So next month might be the perfect time because come February, 90% of these resolutions will be broken and these “gym rats” will be scarfing down Denny’s Grand Slams instead of hitting the Stairmaster.

Thanks in advance for your feedback. If you say you’d listen and I decide to do it, who knows? Maybe the idea of podcasts will catch on and others will do them too. Only time will tell.

Stay tuned for more possible announcements.
